People need to get over that ******* drop. Yes it killed us but WW is still one of the best players on our team and he won't cost nearly as much. Let him work the slot and get actual outside receivers to make life easier for him.

I'm so sick of Brady having these little shrimp sized receivers to throw to. Branch is not the same player he used to be. Patriots need to keep Welker and the TEs and get 2 guys that can stretch the field. Eli and Flacco have way better WRs than Brady does. What's a guy that catches the most passes in the NFL regular season when he can't catch one on the most critical drive in the game? Giants got so lucky but congrats to them for their run.

The Pats need to get better on defense, they needs some DE or OLB, the team needs to stop counting on Brady to win games.

Completely agree. If a younger Brady can't win the big game in the last 8 years, a 35 year old Brady won't have a better chance.

Time to spend some money and draft picks and make this a defensive team. Having 2 picks in the first round, 2 picks in the second round, and 2 picks in the third round last year, and coming up with 1 complete game from Ras IR Dowling is not gonna cut it.

This is it. Brady will be 35, let Welker walk, and either go balls to the wall in the draft if Blackmon were to fall to 8, or sign a stud FA, whos out there!

So mad...

Why make the loss worse by compounding it with stupid offseason moves like getting rid of Welker?

Re-sign Welker
Sign Lloyd
Draft a receiver in rounds 1 or 2, either a burner or a Branch replacement
Bring Branch back with the understanding that he might be a backup
Keep Edelman as the team's Swiss army knife
Bring in others to compete with for the 5th/6th spot(s)

You would think BB would have learnt a lesson or two watching the Elway era ?

As for draft picks, who know. right now this is another blown opportunity and the window is closing fast.

This mentality of never drafting to add or keep our playmakers on defense has not worked since 2005...one attempt was Adalius and that was a disaster.

Yes, lets forget about the philosophy that has gotten the Pats to the Championship 5 times in 10 years. Let's have them become the Detroit Lions and just grab the best WR available and hope it works out..
